Spanish & University Entrance Exam
University Preparation Course Programme 2024-2025
Course of Selectivity for foreigners (UNED)
Studying in a foreign country has many advantages such as enriching your knowledge and social skills, and opening the door to a new professional and working world. Therefore, if you are interested in learning about Spanish culture and studying in Spain, you should consider taking the Spanish course + preparation for the university exam.
If you come from an international baccalaureate or have taken the baccalaureate outside of Spain and the Spanish education system, then you must pass the Specific Competence Tests to enter a Spanish university.
At TCL we offer a nine-month intensive course aimed at providing comprehensive training covering both the improvement of the Spanish language and in-depth knowledge of the subjects assessed in Selectividad. We understand that each student has their own goals and challenges, so our program adapts to individual needs, offering a personalized approach and constant follow-up.

Methodology and evaluation
On the one hand, as regards teaching Spanish as a foreign language, it will always focus on students, taking into account their characteristics and educational needs. It will be oriented around a communicative approach aimed at increasing their expression, comprehension and oral and written interaction skills, with motivating activities and projects that encourage the students to achieve their language goals.
The Spanish as a foreign language assessment will be carried out continuously throughout the course, through the various examinations of the classroom teaching manual, which will make it possible to know the student’s progress and evolution. The course is also followed by a final examination of the level of Spanish acquired at the end of the course, the result of which will enable the holder to obtain a certificate of achievement.
On the other hand, in relation to the preparation of the specific competence tests, it will focus on the organization and planning of the study (with effective techniques) and on an efficient approach where the most relevant aspects will be prioritized, which will be given higher priority in the tests. Dynamic classes will be held, in which individual and group work can be combined. In addition, mock examinations will be conducted with real models of previous calls. The methodology will also always be accompanied by continuous guidance.
